One of the many valuable things our father passed on to us was the leading by example of taking care of one’s neighbour and community. Following in his footsteps, we strive to carry on his work, going beyond the set boundaries to tackle issues that have become extremely important and require urgent attention. We do this by promoting the importance of territories, by sharing our experience and skills with the people who live there, by launching or participating in projects that im- prove the quality of life and by offering close and fruitful partnerships with the farmers who supply the best raw materials for our products. In recent years, inspired by the Barilla Mission “Good for You, Good for the Planet”, we have made important progress, offering products with significantly improved nutritional profiles. We have developed educational projects and other initiatives on healthy lifestyles in partnership with qualified public and private operators; we have fur- ther reduced the environmental impact of our work; we have opened our factories to the public and, embracing full transparency, showed them how our products go from field to fork, covering the entire Barilla supply chain. We are also aware that, despite continuous progress, we can always improve. The challenges we face are increasingly pressing and delicate. Climate change, the exploitation of natural resources, food security and unhealthy eating habits are always at the forefront of our minds, as we are all too aware that “the Planet is on fire” and there is no more time to waste. We believe that the most important mission for human beings and organisations is to leave a positive mark on the world, as a virtuous example of behaviour in the interest of the greater good of future generations and the Planet. Today more than ever, every person on Earth has the chance to play their part, even by simply doing the right thing. That is what Barilla, together with all its invaluable human resources, is committed to doing. 4 5 CHAPTER 2 | WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE WANT TO BE WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE WANT TO BE | CHAPTER 2 IN AN EVER MORE CHALLENGING NATIONAL AND WHO WE ARE AND INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, HOW IS BARILLA DOING?

  • Emilia-Romagna's Food Crowned Italy's Best
    Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Natasha Lardera (March 07, 2015) “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” [2] This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano- Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. The long reportage starts with a cute cliché, that “If you ask an Italian where the best food is in Italy, you almost always get the same answer. “Eh,” they like to say. “At my mother’s house!”… looking like “how could you be so stupid to not know that?” Yet, apparently if you ask around and push for a regional answer everybody agrees on Emilia-Romagna, “the wondrous north-central region that lies in the fertile Po River Valley.” What Rosengarten proceeds to explain is that for Italians this is not an uncommon answer, Emilia- Romagna is known to be a major player for its rich and savory cuisine but in the US its cuisine is not that popular. Americans, for example, tend to be big aficionados of Tuscan cuisine and the reported even gives a funny example: “Once, in New York, a great restaurateur opened a place called Page 1 of 3 Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Amarcord, a reference to Fellini, who was one of Emilia-Romagna’s greatest sons.

  • The Best Comes in Blue
    BARILLA CAMPAIGN THE BEST COMES IN BLUE Claire Casalaspi, Molly Greenwald, Liza McGraw, Anna Petke, and Hannah Plantz SECTION 1: Pre-Campaign Secondary Research Brand Name/Company Name: Barilla Pasta How long has the product existed: Barilla was founded by Pietro Barilla in 1877. It began as a small bakery on a small, vendor road in Par- ma, Italy. Barilla is known to be associated with the Italy’s finest food. Parma is home to the acclaimed Culatello cut of cured ham and Parmigiano cheese, also known as “parmesan” (Buckley, 2019). Where is your product sold (Limited or mass distribution): • Barilla is an international brand with mass distribution (Marketline, 2019). • Largest markets are Italy and the United States (Marketline, 2019). • Barilla began exporting spaghetti and fettuccine to America in 1996 and within three years the brand had overtaken Mueller’s to become the No. 1 pasta seller in America (Orr, 2002). • Barilla was the first pasta-maker to market their products across large retailers and food-service companies across America such as Wal-Mart and Costco (Orr, 2002). What is the cost of your product: • Barilla single 16 oz box: $1.28 (Walmart, 2019). • As I observed in many grocery stores, it depends on the retailer (McGraw, personal observation, 2019). Main competitors and their costs: • Ronzoni • Single 16 oz box: $1.06 (Walmart, 2019). • 9.4% U.S households buy and used this brand as a first choice (Conley, 2013). • They make $126 million in revenue (Buckley, 2019). • Closest competitor (Orr, 2013). • Store brands • Great Value single 16 oz box: $1.00 (Walmart, 2019).

  • The Geography of Italian Pasta
    The Geography of Italian Pasta David Alexander University of Massachusetts, Amherst Pasta is as much an institution as a food in Italy, where it has made a significant contribution to national culture. Its historical geography is one of strong regional variations based on climate, social factors, and diffusion patterns. These are considered herein; a taxonomy of pasta types is presented and illustrated in a series of maps that show regional variations. The classification scheme divides pasta into eight classes based on morphology and, where appropriate, filling. These include the spaghetti and tubular families, pasta shells, ribbon forms, short pasta, very small or “micro- pasta” types, the ravioli family of filled pasta, and the dumpling family, which includes gnocchi. Three patterns of dif- fusion of pasta types are identified: by sea, usually from the Mezzogiorno and Sicily, locally through adjacent regions, and outwards from the main centers of adoption. Many dry pasta forms are native to the south and center of Italy, while filled pasta of the ravioli family predominates north of the Apennines. Changes in the geography of pasta are re- viewed and analyzed in terms of the modern duality of culture and commercialism. Key Words: pasta, Italy, cultural geography, regional geography.
